A FEMALE folk duo are reuniting to perform at the Lawrence Batley Theatre.

Huddersfield’s Belinda O’Hooley will join Jackie Oates at the LBT’s Syngenta Cellar on April 4 (8pm).

Belinda and Jackie met in 2004 as part of folk band Rachel Unthank and The Winterset.

In early 2007, Jackie left the band to pursue solo projects, touring with Phil Beer, Van Eyken and Reg Meuross.

She is a regular at festivals and folk clubs and has released two solo albums. The latest, The Violet Hour, won two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Belinda also left the Winterset in 2007, when the band had just written their album The Bairns, which earned them a Mercury Music Prize nomination.

Belinda and Jackie will be accompanied at the LBT by Heidi Tidow and James Dumbelton.

Tickets cost £9, (£7 concessions), from the box office on 01484 430528.
